[PATCH] net: hisilicon: hisi-femac: fix NAPI teardown ordering

Remove the redundant explicit NAPI deletion from the registered-device
remove path.

The confirmed lifecycle contract is that unregister_netdev() performs
the NAPI teardown. Probe failure cleanup before registration remains
unchanged.

We discourage pointless code churn like this.
If you think there's a bug explain it better.
